Michelle was an amazing host. She met us when we arrived and explained all the campsite amenities in detail as well as guided us to the site and showed us where we could park. She even informed us about a large group camping with them before we arrived and put us in a more secluded area. When we went up to the campsite store to buy firewood later that night they even put it on their car and delivered it to our campsite themselves. The campsite was beautiful and very close to the water and the beach. The next morning after check out they showed us where we could park for free and enjoy the rive…
It was a nice private spot. Everyone was very polite and respected the quiet hours. It was very close to the beach
We booked this campsite the day before with little research done. They way we booked we didn’t pick a specific site but were assigned one by the camp once they approved us. This was a slight gamble but we had never been there before so we didn’t know the best sites anyways. If you want to book a specific spot you can do so on their website. Kelly gave us one of the best sites that was away from the others and seemed twice, if not three times as big as the others. It had its own path down to the river and overlooked the river. I later checked out the spot online and had we booked this one throu…
(Stayed 2 nights in a cabin) Nice family friendly campground with RV, tent and cabin sites throughout the property with the private beach as the highlight. The cabins are located along the main path to the bathrooms, so there will be a consistent flow of foot traffic and not much privacy. Overall, good tent alternative located close to the beach with a general store onsite that has essentials.
The campsite is really awesome. Host Kelly and Michelle were amazing. They were great at ushering you to your campsite, since we got in there at night VS just giving you map. The bathrooms and showers we're really well kept and clean . We rode our bikes to a couple of the wineries close by as well. So location wise too, we we're very happy Will stay here again
The site was easy to find and get to. They have ample overflow parking and clean bathrooms. The site has a fire pit and appropriately advertised space. You’re close to a private river beach which for us was super nice since the weather was HOT. Definitely the sites are fairly close to each other (maybe 10-15ft away in some cases) so if total seclusion is what you want, this might not be the spot - but was good for what we wanted (outdoor summer camping for 2 days with the river nearby). Staff was friendly and helpful. Will book again!
